The Malware/Virus Warning Topic

Post by Jutomi »

Attention all Pcpuzzlers!

And... well, hopefully, any body else who reads this post.

There seems to be this trojan malware - err, a level 9 security risk in spyware, I should say - named Viknok.

Or... at least, I'm pretty sure it's Viknok. :|

Any how, my Mom currently has it in time of this posting.

Looking on the internet, too, it seems to be an incredibly new trojan, on account of the lack of information behind it and the websites being less than two months old. :|

Any how, this topic is being created for three reasons:

1. To warn people about this "Viknok" trojan.
2. To ask and answer how one might remove this "Viknok".
3. To share information about "Viknok".

Hope to at least see something about this by you guys. I'm clueless. :|

Fortunately, getting people to use your computer from an alien location seems to be one good solution. :mrgreen:

Still, I do want any person to know of this thing.

Yes, that helps...

we usually don't, though, and Mom has rarely used the computer. :|

Maybe somebody used your IP address to get this virus to you?
